The Science museum - London, England

The Science museum in London is one of very famous museums around the world. The bicycle collection is exceptional, but 99% bicycle is in deposit. When my good friend visited this museum, he was very disappointed and he had writen on his blog http://vintagebicycle.wordpress.com/ about it. It is interesting and truthfull story.

I am happy that I am able to show nice original pictures made before 1955 for needs and audit of museum.
